~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let me start out by saying that this is a "discussion" forum..merely posting a cartoon as a response or a video, does not qualify as discussion. Posts that violate this will be deleted, and possible further action may be warranted. Everyone here are adults, let's act like it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (1.)No copyright infringement. When posting a news article etc... Only post 3 or 4 paragraphs and give credit to the source and the reporter...with link....you don't want to infringe on any copyrights..as long as we follow this, everyone will be within the guide lines... (2.)No trolling. (3.)No spamming. (4.)No lewd materials nor sexism, racism nor bigotry. (5.)No abusing admins or website (6.)No abusing any poster/member or harrasement of any kind. (7.)No advertising w/o Admin - Owner's permission (8.)No insults about a poster's family members (9.)If you have a problem with another poster, you have three options, notify a member of management,put poster on ignore, or take your differences to the Anything Goes Area..anyone that violates this will be reprimended by either 1 day suspension to a week..this may be upped at any time by management...we will not allow topics to be turned into a fued thread. If management has to lock a topic over violations, we will not be happy campers. (10.)It is against TOS to allow other's to sign in using your account. This would be reason enough to terminate your acct. (11.) It is against TOS to post links to other personal forums unless pre-approved my Admin. (12.) Do not give out any members email or any other information to anyone..including people that are not members here. (13.) Keep The Title of your topics nice and respectable..no naming a topic to try to get people riled up..otherwise we will have to rename your topic for you... On #12-This is violating posters privacy...especially when they have chosen to hide their email address from view by others..or to give someone from elsewhere that posters email...if you want a posters permission ask them personally...or PM them and tell them why and what you want it for..This is common courtesy of people's privacy.My posters rely on management to protect their privacy..And we will protect their rights!. I ask that all of you adhere to this.It is against TOS to give out any members email w/o their permission hidden email address or not hidden,even by members....I addressed this so that there won't be any misunderstandings.. If you have any problems, questions or quarrels on the forum, do not post it on the forum. . PM a member of management...added option #9 for any quarrels...

Title: Re: TOS Post by: Mac McFadden on February 23, 2012, 08:57:29 pm I remember a sign at one place where I used to work:
"Our complaint department is run by Helen Waite. If you have a complaint; go to Helen Waite." ;D Mac Title: Re: TOS Post by: WVaGAL on February 23, 2012, 09:12:15 pm LOL @ Mac...you always find humor in everything..that is good! ;D :-*

And what's life without a little spice? (bland) Mac Title: Re: TOS Post by: WVaGAL on February 23, 2012, 10:11:00 pm That it is Mac..and it also helps keep us sane in a crazy world... ;D
Title: Re: TOS Post by: Mac McFadden on February 23, 2012, 10:36:51 pm Obviously, you noticed my signature.
;D Mac Title: Re: TOS Post by: WVaGAL on February 23, 2012, 11:00:48 pm Yeah but I agree! :D
Title: Re: TOS Post by: Mac McFadden on February 24, 2012, 05:54:51 am The most blatant form of trolling I notice on other boards is posting a thread with a deliberately provocative or belligerent title.
Such as: "Why do Democrats/Republicans/Libertarians hate America?" A thread titled like that appears to be deliberately trying to provoke a fight. It's like asking someone "Have you quit beating your wife?" Unless you prefer a different approach I would respond this way: "Official Moderator Post" Poster, Your thread title appears to be a deliberate attempt to provoke a fight. I am locking this thread. You may repost it with a NON-provocative title. What do the rest of you think of that approach? Mac Title: Re: TOS Post by: WVaGAL on February 24, 2012, 02:39:32 pm Good approach...but I will say that many articles on the net are titled as such..could also send them a PM about changing the title, or you could change the title.....Most likely I have been guilty of posting something similar like that..oops..
Title: Re: TOS Post by: Mac McFadden on February 24, 2012, 04:28:04 pm I realize that sometimes a newspaper or magazine article has a provocative title.
That's why I would give them the opportunity to repost it with one less provocative. I would rather not change it myself. I don't want to be accused of putting words in someone's mouth. And it doesn't matter to me if it's a Lefty or a Rightie doing it. In the zoo, I have noticed that ALL monkeys throw $h*t, even the otherwise nice ones. It's just a thing monkeys do. Mac Title: Re: TOS Post by: WVaGAL on February 24, 2012, 11:15:47 pm good... ;D

Title: Re: TOS Post by: WVaGAL on April 23, 2015, 11:01:45 pm As a reminder racism will not be tolerated and racist material is not allowed to be posted.
